I don't know the exact history of the domain, but many of the accounts on it are OG arbor networks people (a DoD spinoff focused on volumetric ddos mitigation/traffic engineering, now part of Netscout). Those that weren't there originally were at least in their circle. Also several were significant openbsd/openssh contributors back in the day.

  I don't know anything specifically about monkey.org but I went to high school with the user "dros" in the late 90's when local BBS's (Grex and M-Net) were still kind of cool and it was even cooler to have your own.

    heh, I remember grex. Ann Arbor native?

      Yep! From birth to CHS graduation in 99, then moved to California with the Versity.com team who went on to found Stubhub and Twilio without me. A more Ann Arbor story there is not!

        PHS '99 here! I stuck around and ended at Netscout. Funnily enough, I was on a slack call earlier today with one user from monkey.org trying to figure out some bit of code from _another_ user on monkey.org :) tbf, the code was quite readable, but it wasn't in a language that I'm strong in.

        High five! You may win the Ann Arbor story thing. I think Andy (dros) is a Linux filesystem contributor working at NetApp. Definitely interesting stuff from many of the monkey.org users all over the interwebs!

        Dros was an Arbor person for awhile (he joined up the year I left) and then, like a bunch of Monkeys, a Duo person.

    Are you talking about grex.cyberspace.org?

    m-net.arbornet.org or some such? Why do I remember that and why does it sound familiar? (And after writing the above, my next thought was "Jennie? Jennie Garth? Describe her." -- yes, I'm odd.) -- EDIT: Oh, cool, it still exists [0] (And my questions are now answered!) -- [0]: http://m-net.arbornet.org/m-net.php http://m-net.arbornet.org/m-net.php

User dues are $120 to find out. I think it’s a nameserver host? Idk.
